View 10 RepliesI have just started joining these type of forums because im planning to set up another web site and i guess that it would really help if i enter these forums to have a better judgement and make the best choice. Ive had my other hostings from go daddy and midphase but i wasnt relly happy with the results and the downtime... ive read some forums about globat, if im not mistaken my web developer has made me a website from globat for almost a year and we had minor problems.

I did a search for reviews on their hosting service. There were some negative ones a few years back when they were selling PeopleHost hosting, but they apparently have their own hosting now.
I found a few posts with issues, but there always has to be a few. However, if 3 of 10 customers have problems, it's a lot different than if 3 of 10,000 customers have problems. Anyone have an idea of how many sites they host?
Also, what's the latest word from people using their hosting services? Any good? How about response time and up time?
About a month ago I opened a new hosting account with IPOWER. I had a bad experience with IPOWERWEB about 4 years ago but since they had my domain subscription I decided to keep things easy and use them to host the domain...bad choice. During the first 30 days I have had nothing but problems. The biggest issue is performance. All I was doing was running a simple php-based message board with about a dozen users. The mySQL performance was so bad that moving from one forum to another took about 45 to 60 seconds. VDeck....don't get me started. After opening 3 to 4 tickets for support on the performance issues I was finally told that they had major mySQL peformance problems and were starting a project to address.
Needless to say I dropped the account within the 30 day trial period and after doing hours and hours of research on this board (thanks!) and a few others, I went with Hawkhost. I could not be happier! The pricing is great, the support is outstanding, and my performance is lightning fast. If you are looking for a basic but solid hosting account you cannot go wrong. Thank you to all who made the Hawkhost recommendation. IPOWER, you can GTH!
anybody know anything?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI believe it's ev1server.net But i'm not sure if it's correct or not. This website is jacking some of my cursors. He/she doesn't even rename the files that he/she takes. It's the exact same filename as the one's I have on my website. Also when you look internally you can see information about the cursors. It says something like created by, animated by etc.
I just want to contact his webhost to remove my cursors.

find a hosting provider which will meet the following requirements
1. Multiple sites (more than 6)
2. MS SQL Server 2005 or 2008 (two will be enough may need 500Mb on one)
3. More than one FTP user
4. ASP.NET 2.0 and 3.5 Support
5. PHP support also needed
6. $10 monthly (120$/Year) maximum
Supporting more than 2 sub domains on each domain will be an added advantage
What are the most important things to look for in a hosting company?
Cost?
Network Speed?
Uptime?
Quality hardware?
Quality Support?
Fast Support?
Redundancy?
Most people would say all of above right? Well, if you had to stack each of the above in order of importance, where would you put cost at? Is it at the top for you or at the bottom? If I had to rate each of them it would look something like this:
Uptime
Network Speed and reliability
Redundancy of power, bandwidth, cooling
Reputable Tier 1 carriers of bandwidth
Quality Support
Fast Support
Quality hardware
Cost
The problem is that I see many people on WHT acting like Cost if the #1 factor in determining a host. And when you let cost be your #1 determining factor, you will be usually sacrificing on some or all of the other factors that you should be looking at. The higher up the list you put cost in deciding where to host, the more you will sacrifice quality in these other important areas.
"But", you say, "I see many quality companies offering cheap pricing. Shouldn't I choose to go with them?" Consider this, hosting companies like any other business need to be able to make a profit. Sale prices are great but there are reasons for sale prices and you need to consider these reasons when choosing to buy a cheap server. Some common reasons for selling servers for extremely cheap are;
- The hardware is used and old and the hosting company is just looking get something for it. ANYTHING!
- They have an excess of inventory for one reason or another that they need to get rid of.
- They buy their servers used on Ebay and can therefore afford to sell them cheap.
- The cheap server is merely a loss leader used to bring business in order to sell other products and services at full price but is not a regular price that you can expect from this company.
- The company is new and is looking to attract prospective clients on price alone and is dropping the price just to get their client base increased quickly.
There are companies selling servers on WHT who fall into each of these categories so you need to think about this when you make a decision for who to go with. The common denominator with the above list is simple... It is Unsustainable! Not one of the reasons listed above can be sustained for a long period of time.
If you can get a good deal on a server with a solid company, and there are many on WHT that are great companies who have great deals on servers at times, then that is wonderful. But do not expect that you will be able to get insanely cheap pricing on a regular basis from this company and don't be surprised when you want another server if the price is significantly higher. Every hosting company has certain costs that are unavoidable:
- Rent
- Power
- Bandwidth
- Payroll
- Employee Benefits
- Server Hardware Costs
- Software Licensing
- Marketing and Advertising
- Maintenance Contracts
- Network Equipment
- Infrastructure Replacement (a/c's, generators, UPS units, etc.)
- Other Utilities
The point in bringing all of this up is that if you plan on finding a hosting company that you can stay with for the long haul, you need to look at their regular pricing for retail servers and for reselling servers. Cheap prices are great, but no business can stay in business if they only offer cheap pricing. And if a hosting company is only attracting you by their cheap pricing, then it shows that they are most likely weak when it comes to the other essential factors mentioned above that need to be considered. Any hosting company selling servers for under $80 per month for instance is loosing money in some way. Eventually, the price will be raised to cover those costs (like at LT this year) and then you are left to make up that difference.
As with most things in life, good quality cannot be sold cheap, and that which is cheap is usually not good quality.
find a none overselling hosting company

Any one know any good email hosting service. I dont need webhost.
I just want me@mydomain.com
I'm wondering if someone can recommend a host to me. I know that researching a host before I go with it is important, this is part of my research.
I would like to make a site with ASP.NET 2.0 and a database (MS SQL preferred).
I'm just starting, so I don't have any traffic, but I don't want to rule out the possibility in the future.
I'd like a host that has no lock-in (Does not own my domain name, lets me backup and download my own database files) to a host that scales (allows me to upgrade plans easily, or purchase add-on space and bandwidth), although both are useful, I really don't want to be locked-in.
The site is not for profit (personal) and budget is a concern.
Right now Lunarpages Windows plan is looking good, it does give me a ‘free domain’, but specifies that they do not own it. Does anyone know how easy it is to transfer a free domain from lunarpages to godaddy or another registry? Has anyone had experience with this host for asp.net?
I'm also interested in finding a unbiased, legitimate host searching site that allows me to search hosts by features, with no affiliate links to the hosts reviewed, that do not sell hosting, etc.
I would like to find out all sites hosted by [url]. Is there an easy way to do that?

Can a domain have two set of users.... let me explain the situation.
mydomain.com has a set of users which have admins etc etc.
can i have sub.mydomain.com with the same set of users, with different admin and restricted access to certain level.
1- What means that the site has an IP?, what will differ if the site has an IP?
2- What is the importance of IPs for every site?, I mean now I'm running a shared hosting, Should each site has it's dedicated IP? and is it dangerous to make all clients has same IP?
3- I got 5 IPs with my server, how can I assign a DEDICATED IP for my main site, and then assign the 2nd 2 IPs for my main site Name servers & Finally assign the rest IPs for Resellers?
4- In the domaintools whois Service, Under Server Data category, sometimes I found :
Dedicated Hosting: domain.com is hosted on a dedicated server.
what this means, and how can I make my domain looks like this , cause it's already hosted on a dedicated server.
5- When I asked my Server Co. about extra IPs, they told me:
" for smaller allocations its $1 per ip, we also require full ARIN IP justification." so, what's ARIN IP justification?
how can i do a search for all files (probs using regex) of files consisting purely of numbers?
for e.g. find:
53243.php
24353.php
24098.php
(always have 5 numbers).
seems one of my accounts has had some script run which generated a bunch of these in various subfolders, and the php file basically does a callback to www3.rssnews.ws and www3.xmldata.info, which seem to be some sort of spyware servers.
I'm interested in making a site which would stream video game (RPG) audio to users through flash. I have long searched for a service that I could use to listen to that odd track from final fantasy 8 for example (and not some cheap midi) without going through hundreds of links etc. So I'm thinking of making one myself.
I know there are sites that host mass video game mp3s (gh.ffshrine.org) and also remix and host video game music (ocremix.org) but I don't know if what they are doing is OK by normal hosting standards.
if it is, <snipped>.
I have a question regarding, hard drives and performance etc... I only use it for forums and currently is only one site (hopefully couple more in no time)
Currently I have 2x36gb SAS in raid 1 obviously containing everything including dbs and /home. and a third 250gb drive for backups only ^^ Ronny did an excelent job setting this up.
Any ways, my problem is that I wan't to allow some attachments on my forums, and this would take a significant ammount of space over 1gb no problem and then keep increasing (that's gonna sux for bandwidth). I know it will fit in the SAS drives no problems, dbs are rather small at the time (2.5gb in total) but logs are quite big 5-10gbs in total.
I thought it might be a good idea to purchase another drive. This 4th drive would be 750 and backups would move there , and use the 250 for the /home directory. This would give a lot of room for uploads, and backups accordingly and keep the fast ones for OS and dbs
I was told, however, and understandebly, that a lot of performance would be lost by moving /home to a SATA drive I know SATAS are no way as fast, but then vbulletin can't upload attach files to a folder outside its hirachy (without complicated modifications).
(Note: i didn't specify my resons for wanting such set up)
So I'm in a bit of a pickle. Having the bigger drive would allow me to have the attachments, and should eventually result on more traffic etc to my site. /home currently is only 150mbs big... but then performance is also an issue pitty i couldn't afford the bigger drices at the time [sees the point of renting over buydowns now]
is there a way that /var/log/httpd saves those massive logs on another drive? it would free up 5-10gbs
in shortIs moving /home to a SATA drive from Raid 1 SAS a bad idea? (considering space and purpose)
Could httpd logs or /var/log in general be moved to the backup/another drive?
Currently I am using rsync to backup directory and mysqldump sql file on both external and internal backup drive
Now the directory has around 100,000 files that hardly change. Only thing that happens in that directory is either the old files are deleted or new files are added. All of them image
Due to some reason when i rsync using any of the two commands below, it transfer each and every file again rather then transferring the new or updated files.
Here is what i am currently using
rsync -avH /old/path /destination/path (this is for internal backup drive)
or
rsync -avz -e ssh /old/path username@username.remoteaddress:/destination/path
why all my files in the directory all uploaded again
I have a Cpanel box, in WHM I used the "PHP Configuration Editor" and changed the php execution time (minor change). After clicking save I now get the following error on any php using sessions:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp /sess_1d374c43a0f726cd43776f9f92485bec, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/continou/public_html/control/index.php on line 4
One thing I noticed it did was turn on PHPSuexec which generally causes problems for me. I turned that off and the error response changed slightly (to above) but the problem is not solved.
I tried rebooting the server. /tmp does exist, I am now rebuilding apache in hopes that corrects the problem.
I've got a vps running centos 5.3 on an openvz platform. I've been using a simple set of iptables rules but recently the host moved me to a new server and I'm having issues with my firewall. I'm pretty sure it's the firewall since if I stop iptables or flush the rules everything works properly.
my rules:
Code:
!/usr/bin/env iptables-restore
*filter
:FORWARD DROP [0:0]
:INPUT DROP [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
-A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT
The last rule continues with all the other used protocols (pop3/dns/http/etc)
The problem is incoming connections with should be allowed from by the related,established rule aren't permitted. If I use wget,ftp,ping, or dig from my shell they all report a time out. For example dig w3.org gives no server reachable. If I capture all dns requestes with tcpdump I see the outgoing request to dns and I see the incoming data but dig still reports a timeout. Since tcpdump sits before iptables and I have no output filtering it seems that my input filter isn't seeing the related/established state of dig and allowing the results in.
But, what's the solution? Do I need to ask the vps provider for something specific? If so what?
Or is there a better way to write my iptables rules to compensate for this problem?
I have read about addon domains but I have still one doubt regarding same. Suppose I have buy two domains which have no any relationship with each other like one is of my family (viralshah3112andfamily.com) and one is for my uncle's business site (xyz.com) . Now if I host them in one account as addon domain, both will have different identity? Means both will have different URL like xyz.com and viralshah3112andfamily.com. Is it so?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm using .htaccess file and mod_auth_mysql for protection of a site, where the old users are in flat passwd file and the new ones are in DB, so i need both the standart .htpasswd check and if the user is not there check in the mysql DB
well here is how currently my htaccess file looks:
------------------------
AuthName "Password Protected Pages"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/edited/.htpasswd
<limit GET POST PUT>
require valid-user
</limit>
AuthMySQLAuthoritative Off
AuthName "Members Only"
AuthType Basic
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthMySQLHost domain-removed.com
AuthMySQLDB username-removed
AuthMySQLUser user-removed
AuthMySQLPassword edited
AuthMySQLUserTable members
AuthMySQLNameField username
AuthMySQLPasswordField password
AuthMySQLPwEncryption none
AuthMySQLUserCondition "status=1 AND siteid=2"
require valid-user
----------------
but the site doesn't accept neither the flat passwd file users, neither the ones from the nats DB, it just pop-ups the password dialog box again, whicih means that the password is not accepted
For the users i tested with i double checked that they DO exist in the htpasswd file or in the DB, so its not that
also, cause the site and the DB are on different servers, i have authorised the first one to query the mysql db at the second, so its not from that as well
i have removed the sensitive information (domains, users and passwords from the sample code i pasted here)
so...i'm totally lost here and any directions or ideas will be highly apprecicated
I noticed when installing latest version of APF 0.9.6.3 over the previous version 0.9.6.2 it will import all the variable and ports settings from conf.apf and allow_hosts.rules files of the previous version. so there will be no need to edit or configure any thing any more when upgrading APF exept setting DEVEL_MODE to 0 and restart APF.
